Break the class up into six teams of five students: the overall designgroup, the group focusing on features A, B, C, the group focusing on features X, Y, Z, the testgroup, the production group, and the marketing group. Without further background anddiscussion involving real teams, I will assume the virtuousness of the individual engineers on theengineering teams and will set the overall virtue ethics index at three for all six teams, that is,assume all team players are quite honest, fair, and caring, especially in their interactions witheach other. It is when we move to the conceptual ethics and material ethics levels that theproblems start.Select one person from each team, or have the team select a person, to act as a

The accuracy of the borings critically affects the design recommendations for his report. The report is due in six days.”Students were given a minute to read the story and then were presented with followingoptions about what Florin should do: a) Boring logs from nearby sites are probably okay to use since soil conditions in the area do not vary significantly. b) Florin should call the geologist and get proof that the existing data came from borings at the site. If proof is unavailable, the boring crew should be fired. c) Florin should tell the client his concerns and

To minimize the impact on theinstructor, a ten-point grading rubric was developed that equally weighted the student’swriting and ethical reasoning. Appendix B provides an example of an assignment alongwith the developed grading rubric. In addition to providing grades for the course, theseassignments were also effective ways to demonstrate the students were meeting ABET’scriterion 3f.As can be seen by the example talking points paper and assignment (Appendices A andB), the focus of these ethical discussions is to have the students think about the choicesthey would make in a given situation.
